Non-BMW Stuff on a BMW Forum

Fixed a few things on the e46: window regulator, windshield cowl, and new heater control valve. Someone at some point bypasses the heater valve and the AC was pretty weak.
I was also in Malibu this past weekend for a friends wedding and got to drive a couple of his cars as well as a friend's S52 swapped E30 in the canyons. It was an absolute blast and gave me renewed motivation to get my e30 done.

Did you get to drive that 993?
I was lucky enough to drive all of them up and down a couple times. It was an experience I will never forget.

Does anyone have some pics of what hoses, or could describe to me, what hoses go to the heater core?
From what I can gather the top hose goes to the hard pipe on the back of the block and the bottom hose is the large one from the thermostat and reservoir?
I found some coolant hose diagrams, but its difficult to tell which ones go to the heater core.

You need that ring for it to clamp properly. Does it show as a separate part in realoem? I can't remember if that comes with a regulator or not.
Edit: Or do you just mean it cracked but still will be in place? It is just a spacer so if it is just cracked that probably won't matter.

It crumbled into a bunch of pieces, but a friend locally came to the rescue and has the spacer and o ring.
Now, sorry if this has been asked but I tried searching the internet for reviews but couldn't find any. Has anyone used this swaybar before?

It appears to be 22.37mm thick, at least in the part being measured in the photo.

Wagon got new brakes tonight. In desperate need of new control arms, too. Thankfully I have those coming next week.
Is this delphin?
I love this color. Smoked head lights look great.

Yup! That's all courtesy of the PO. I can't take credit for the headlights.

Finally some visible progress. Everything else lately has been little things that didn't really make it feel like I've accomplished anything.
All I really need to do in the engine is bolting up the exhaust, plugs, plug wires, and radiator. New clutch master cylinder is in. Need to do the soft line between the two. Its so close.

So, one thing that I needed to look at are the headlights. The PO wired up HIDs and I'm not a fan of those so I wanted to pull those out and put in standard bulbs. After looking at pictures of these lights and some of the wiring DIYs I'm afraid I may have an issue.
So, first things first it looks like I'm missing the caps on the back of the low beams. Second, it appears the plugs wired in are specific to the HID ballast or whatever it's called. Am i correct? And third, the bulb mounting on the high beam on the driver side looks screwed.
I guess I'm looking for some guidance on what to do. It seems if I keep these or get stock lights, i need different plugs from the car. But since I'm missing the caps on the low beams and the high beam retainer is messed up, I'm not sure I can reuse these lights.
